Does anyone know of a name for the cognitive bias where you think you're wrong just because everyone around you has a different opinion?
Like "either I'm the only sane person here, or I'm the insane person and everyone else is fine"
 
Hmm... "conformity bias" isn't bad...

Impostor syndrome is something very different - its feeling like you don't deserve your accomplishments and you are a big fraud. People who have impostor syndrome attribute their success and accomplishments to external factors such as luck, timing, or convincing others they are more competent than they are. I think the key to impostor syndrome is a persistent fear you will be found out to be a fraud. The more they are praised the more they feel like they don't deserve it.
I have impostor syndrome if you didn't notice.
I told my boss during my performance review "if I exceed expectations then your expectations must be very, very low" and I truly believe it and feel that way no matter how much logic or evidence tells me otherwise. However, I do not believe that I am wrong just because everyone else around me has a different opinion. Not in the slightest.
